Hello dear readers I was a little bit away from the web publishing. But now I will take the job. I decided to spice up the site; it will be not only published information and discussion about technology, but also the    experience of the trips. So lest start our journey. This time is Rome . Why Rome ? Let’s say it is naïve question. Rome is the eternal city; it is the city where all the roads lead. It is currently home to about 2, 7 million inhabitants. It is the capital of the Italy , the country where lives about 60, 5 million people. It is the member of G8, most developed industrial countries. If you would take a look from above, it looks like female boots, maybe so the country is famous for fashion and the shoe industry. Italy is also well kwon for their excellent and distinctive cuisine. Italians can be proud of a rich cultural legacy, perhaps because of that they are in the fifth place among the tourist traffic .Your humble servant has decided to be one of ...

  Svenske sosiologen Charles Wolfson, som bodde I Litauen over ti år, har vart i konferanse om utvandring. Den konferanse var hold i Vilnius, april 2013. Jeg har oversett noen av hans meninger, jeg er enig med de fleste av dem. Han sier at arbeidsmarkedet er fragmentert i Litauen i tre deler:    -Det er offentlige, som bor ganske bra, de absorberer EU penger.    -En liten   gruppe av supper rike oligarker,    -Og privat sektore arbeidere, som er livet ikke så godt. På grunn av denne situasjonen antall personen i arbeidsmarkedet flytett til ”skygge” eller jobbe svart og motta   ulovlig lønn . Eller jobbe lovlig men en del av lønnen blir i ”konvoluten”. Dette betyr at noen av de ansatte i Litauen er helt ubeskyttet, avhenger av sine sjefer god vilje. De jobber overtid uten den minste mulighet for dem at det skal bli redferdig kompensert. Kanskje forskeren skjener ikke at det er en gruppe av arbeidere som jobber i utla...

Kids from Kaunas Valdorf school at the celebration  Lithuania celebrated Mardi Gras (Uzgavenes it is Lithuanian name) on Tuesday. What kind of celebration it is ? Mardi Gras is a traditional winter festival, which aims to banish the winter.   This is one of the funniest celebrations for me. It is not just a Lithuanian festival , it is celebrated in other European countries. Clearly it is more rural cultural phenomenon , but usually is celebrated in the cities. Immediately after Mardi Gras begins Lent and fasting time . Celebrations participants dress up , it is important to use non-routine clods. Faces are concealed by masks , which is constructed of paper, cardboard or wood . All the most important players in the Mardi Gras were taken from daily rural environment . Usually masks had old, ugly human traits. Usually man liked to dress as woman , and women – often as men . The people depicted and mythol...

Taken from asgbielsko.lenart.pl The problem arose between  two countries, Ukraine and Russia. This problem is not new. The fact is that Ukraine last year consumed less gas and therefore they planing less to buy from Russia. They had to buy gas  more, by prior arrangement. According to the 2009 agreement  between Gazprom and Naftogaz, Ukraine has to buy from Gazprom at 52 billion. cubic meters of gas per year.  Ukraine bought  only 32.9 billion. cubic meters of gas last year. Can you imagine dear reader, that in order to shop in the supermarket, you will need first  to sign contract with a supermarket. In t hat contract it will be told, that you will be able to shop, but you know, you have to spend not less than 100 U.S. dollars, either you are not welcome. Well if I am very hungry and not very prudent, I can sign a contract. But at least in the western world such agreements exist, or not? I'm staying Lithuanian themselves and a...

Lithuanian Prime Minister A.Butkevicius during his stay in Estonia in 2013 january, said that it would be interesting for the all three Baltic countries to have their own airline company. "I propose the creation of aviation company to carry out a joint project and be able to financially survive, because of having the airline, which, for example, can work profitably only in Lithuania - it is hardly imaginable." Spoke A.Butkevicius.   Lithuania had the aviation company, not too long ago, that went bankrupt. It should be noted that both Latvia and Estonia have their own airlines. But both of them are unprofitable. Latvia is  looking currently for a strategic investor in loss-making airlines "airBaltic". With the growing losses of "Estonian Air" also started discussions in Estonia on "Estonian Air"'s future. It is not clear what  expect Butkevicius, because Latvians certainly will not  establish another company, having considerable trouble w...

Suppressing Lithuania 's energy independence project in Visaginas ,for  Lithuania  the situation is much more difficult at the present. It become important to continue work on LNG terminal in Klaipeda . What is an LNG ? LNG terminals have four main functions: Receiving LNG tankers and unloading their cargo Storing LNG in cryogenic tanks able to withstand temperatures below -160°C Degasifying LNG to meet demand Feeding gas into the national transmission network. The LNG is stored in double-walled insulated tanks to limit boil-off. These tanks are able to withstand the temperatures of below -160°C needed to keep the gas condensed in a liquid state. The outer walls are made of pre-stressed reinforced concrete or steel. However, the newly elected government does not show much enthusiasm for large projects. However, there is hope that at least the LNG terminal will appear .  The European Union decided to support Finland in the adequat...
